OCTO, I was able to draw this using the line tool in Finale without "very large lines above the staff." "very large lines above the staff" are the way how MuseScore creates a line. Sorry, OCTO I misread the original post and thought you were referring to Finale. MuseScore would be impossible for me...

Using a normal line, what we have in Finale, is also awkward, since it adds a very large line above the stave, so I need to resize each of them. Any change to the measure length misplaces the lines. I will try to find a solution by using a large zig-zag line. OCTO, I was able to draw this using the...

Obviously, I can't post the example. I eliminated ...

Philosophical musings: 1. The actual rules used by humans are so much more complex with a lot of ifs as OCTO puts it, than those that are programmed into even the most sophisticated software. For this reason, computer output tends to look cartoonish and over-simplified. For example: compare the look...
